Entertainments.
A RAG BABY.

At the New Haven Opera House last even good sized audience, who forgot all their troubles in the mirth-provoking absurdities of the comedy on the stage. Like all the other shows of it's class, it serves as vehicle for the introduction of the various lines of business of it's participants and is batch of we'll relished nonsense from beginning to end. MT. Charles Reed as sfOld Sport, the sporting enthusiast, fills the bill admirably and is fair sample of the well known class of would-be famous athletes. Miss Georgie Parker, the soubrette, as ssVenu sGrout," is Q pleasing little actress, and her work was well received and generously encored. The balance of the company is in the main good. The performance as a whole is pleasing one and well calculated to raise the spirits ot those who see it. There will be matinee to-day at 2:3O and the evening performance at 8 o'clock will conclude the engagement.

CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT

 At she Humphrey Street Church at
 Which Ninety Books Are Given
 Away
 The members of the Sunday school of the Humphrey street church had very pleasant time at their Christmas entertainment Thurs day evening. The entertainment consisted of Christmas carols by the choir and chill dren, recitations, vocal music and similar at fractions. The most pleasing feature of the evening, however, was the distribution of forty-four Bibles of the St. James version and thirty-ive testamsnts of the revised edi- ton to the scholars learning the most of the golden text for the year. The books were given by the loved superintendent of the school, MT. H. P. Shares, who is now in Florida and who left the matter in the hands of the efficient secretary of the school. The reason that all the books given away were not Bibles was because those receiving the new testaments had received the old last year.
